    Great ep Gav, How special is the South Coast. Yep had the same issue with NPWS closing roads with no notice at the entrance. Obviously common sense ain't that common in Parks.

      First time I’ve really ventured offroad in this area, normally just hang down at Mallacoota.
      Absolutely loved this coastline, has a bit of everything.
      I don’t know why I was so upset, I shouldn’t expect much more from Parks.

      Glad it refreshed your memory, they would have to be all good from down in that area.
      It is what it is, atleast I only had to drive down, would have been a little more frustrating if I had to walk !🤦🏽🤣
      Back up the high country for some river camping. Just a relaxing few videos.
